24 Hours in Birmingham, England!

[@heathergittens3223]

My late uncle, who was from Trinidad & Tobago, West Indies, lived in Birmingham from 1960 to 1979. He said it was the best years of his life. He'd loved England, but he couldn't take more of the cold weather so he returned to T & T. For me, I would have stayed in England.

[@ah-xb3xi]

🇹🇹 alot of bakanal in Trini but I am bred Trini and jam down Trinican. The bullring was a Haven.

[@janesamuels7714]

No you wouldn't. 🤣

[@jackdaniels4346]

The bullring is definitely more of a shopping area not the Mailbox

[@PaigeMariah]

Oh man, I wish I stopped there

[@lazarus5609]

You was literally 5min walk from the bullring from the Mailbox

[@loulove321]

0121 gang in the comments! I am glad you visited Brum, it's a lovely city with usually a lot more to see, but obviously it all depends on the time and weather. You need to get up to the custard factory area in Digbeth as soon as nightclubs, bars and restaurants open up even more in the future! Grand Central and the Bullring have some great shops and restaurants inside which are more affordable than The Mailbox which is a luxury shopping centre. As someone who has lived here my entire life, I'm noticing a lot of good changes coming to the city centre as they're redeveloping a lot of it right now for HS2, so we're in this weird period where there's new and exciting things opening up, but obviously the pandemic has caused the centre to be quieter than it used to be.

[@SoFrolushes]

Hope you get to visit the International Slavery museum in Liverpool and loads of stuff to do within reason during pandemic. Liverpool people are nice

Thanks Mel! 😊

[@AJ-eo2hz]

Brummie here ,kings Heath high street, jewellery quarter ,Broad street, the canals all in this video ,but surprised you didn’t visit the bull ring instead of the mailbox as Bull ring is bustling with more variety of shops and was very close to that primark ,the library and grand central /new street train station were worth a quick look to . Nice video however .

People always forget the cultural side of Birmingham...The Royal Ballet (Birmingham) ~ one of the top ballet companies in the world, Birmingham Symphony Orchestra ~ one of Europe's most premier, The Rep and much more.

[@paulofuller6492]

@Oliver's mummy very true...jewelry quarter etc

[@juliajones2283]

The Bullring is a good place to wander around ( shops and restaurants) much bigger and better than the mailbox. Also lots of great restaurants shops in the jewellery quarter. And lots of other places, some good museums. I’m an 0121 also! X

[@PaigeMariah]

I’ll have to visit next time!!

Y'all this was gr8! Two fun facts: Birmingham has more canals than Venice and its green spaces inspired Tolkien's Lord Of The Ring. Dude grew up there. Next time also drop by Selfrdges and stand outside it to see the contrast between space age architecture and the gothic architecture of St. Martin's. ❤️

Enjoyed your blog on Birmingham. I was born there. So much as changed since I left in 1985. I lived in Calthorpe Road in Perry Barr. Always shopped at the Bullring. I know it has changed. I want to take a trip after this pandemic is over. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone must visit digbeth area and there’s loads of great restaurants, from burger joints like Meat Shack, OPM to Michelin starred restaurants like Purnell’s and Adam’s. Another fact, Birmingham has the most Michelin starred restaurants in the UK outside of London.

When you get to Liverpool, you can visit Abbey Road where the Beatles walk. They, too, are Liverpudlians. My late mother supported Manchester United.

Abbey Road is in St John's Wood, London, not Liverpool.

[@doreenayi3751]

Nice to see you exploring the cities page, but maybe time for you to explore some of the countryside you could go to Somerset Devon even Cornwall on a bit of a road trip. Or why not try Yorkshire Peak District or Lake District or some of the other famous cities like Bristol Bath Cheltenham Bradford Leeds the Lake District or very worthwhile places to see. Maybe even take a journey into Wales and go to Cardiff Swansea maybe even the valleys

[@spirituallysafe]

Mailbox in Birmingham I agree is underwhelming. You should have gone to the famous Bullring Shopping Centre (not far from Primark). Also it is Bir-ming-ham. Not Burninum! Why do so many people say this? You just say what you see :)

[@willdavies5595]

Hi, no 4th of July isn’t acknowledged in England at all. 🤷‍♂️

[@sayusaymee7722]

I heard in some places they do, kinda like how Americans celebrate Cinco De Mayo, which I thought was interesting. But thank you for the feedback. 😊

[@spirituallysafe]

No but on 4th July 1988 there was a restaurant called The American Food Factory on New Street, Birmingham and the waitresses jumped around with some pom poms for a few minutes whilst we waited for our cheesecake dessert. I hope this counts, but otherwise, no-one cares here :)

[@jamesanthony3072]

Great to see you visit Brum, though I thought you sort of wasted your 24h as you didn’t leave your apartment till 5pm? You could of visited one of the many art galleries, museums, didn’t visit the bull ring for the majority of stores you probably would of liked… No trip to Digbeth for the amazing street art and unusual bars/restaurants… also you missed out the cooler bars/restaurants areas while out in the evening? I really think Birmingham needs a good few days or long weekend to really appreciate the city… Your local guide was awful too, didn’t seem to know the cool spots or much of where things are lol, maybe she doesn’t go into central Birmingham often? Maybe next time you will have a better look about with a little research of what’s on and where to go etc as it’s a wonderful city with great nightlife

[@sayusaymee7722]

13:20 For quick sec I'm like why is Slyvie going awf 🎶 lol when she's suppose to be paying attention to the road...then I immediately realized, they drive on the other side of the road 😩🤣 She was gettin' it tho 💃🏽😆 14:46 16:20 That looks so cool 🍹
